MechaCon Anime Convention

MechaCon Anime Convention After 17 years, MechaCon closed its final show on July 25th of 2021. MechaCon's first five years took place in Lafayette, LA.
(1502)

MechaCon began as an anime convention that brings together anime, Transformers, and Japanese culture. Since, MechaCon evolved to include fandoms such as Sci-Fi, Comics and Domestic Animation, making it a complete fan experience. In its sixth year, it moved to New Orleans, LA due to growth. For its seventh year, MechaCon established its new home at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside and after it's twelfth year, MechaCon relocated to the Hyatt Regency in Downtown New Orleans. This allowed the convention to present more content than ever before. A fan favorite, MechaCon quickly rose through the anime convention ranks to become one of the most prominent anime/fan conventions on the Gulf Coast of the United States. After 16 years of successful shows in the books, MechaCon made its final curtain call on July 25, 2021.

Is reminiscing about MechaCon this past weekend leaving you feeling nostalgic? Are you missing that spirit of belonging, that sense of community? Well, we're helping to rebuild it — and we need YOU to help make it happen!

Mark your calendars: Anime Conclave returns August 29th–30th!

Anime Conclave is a homegrown, grassroots anime convention created by New Orleans natives. Now celebrating its third year, it's happening at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside — right at Convention Center Blvd. and Poydras St., on the banks of the mighty Mississippi.

Longtime MechaCon fans know this hotel well. It hosted MechaCon from 2011–2016, and so many unforgettable memories were made in those hallways. Now Anime Conclave is calling you back — back to the Hilton, back to our community, back home.

Get your ticket! Book your room!

It's time to come home.
